Gathering to connect with one another, eat together, laugh and support each other is one of the core ministries of FCC Bristol.
Throughout the year, there are many ways to connect in community with others.

All-Ages Game Night

All-Ages Game Night literally invites those of all ages to gather for dinner and to play board and card games in the second floor Auditorium.  Dinner begins at 6pm with games starting between 6:30-7pm.  The fun wraps up at 8pm.  Please check the calendar under Events for the date of the next game night.

Community Lunches

Once a month, following worship, all are invited to gather for lunch in the upstairs Auditorium.  This simple lunch of sandwiches, chips, and dessert is rich in connection.  Please check the calendar under Events for the date of the next Community Lunch.

Ladies' Night Out

Once a month, all ladies are invited to gather at a local restaurant for dinner, laughter, and community.  Please check the calendar under Events for the date and location of the next Ladies’ Night Out.

Men's Fellowship

Men’s Fellowship is an opportunity for men of all ages to gather from 8-9am for breakfast at the Parkside Café on North Main Street in Bristol.  Over breakfast, each participant is invited to share something on their heart or mind.  Men’s Fellowship also has an annual retreat and picnic.  Their purpose is to create community, nurture faith, and serve others in Christ’s love.  Men’s Fellowship helped create the Men and Boys’ Fund (Main Street Community Foundation) and members of Men’s Fellowship continue to be involved with supporting this fund for men and boys in the Bristol area.  Please check the calendar under Events for the date of Men’s Fellowship’s next breakfast.

Sunday Fellowship & Refreshments

On Sundays after worship, all are invited to a time of refreshment and community.  In addition to getting a cup of coffee, tea, or juice as well as a tasty treat, this is a great time to get to know others.

Sunshine Card Group

Once a month, the Sunshine Card Group gathers to make over 100 custom greeting cards to send out to anyone who is in need of a little extra sunshine.  The more the merrier when it comes to cards and sunshine!  Please check the calendar under Events for the date of the next Sunshine Card group.

Women's Guild

Women’s Guild invites women of all ages to gather for lunch, for community service, and other fun events.  Please check the calendar under Events for the date of Women’s Guild’s next gathering.

Youth Group

Youth in 6th-12th grade are invited on the first and third Sundays from 5-7pm to gather for dinner, games, conversation, and community service.  Youth Group meets from September through June.
